Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level?


My Totem Sttafs, when positioned directly on the floor, are below ear level for listening purposes. I've read that optimum results occur when the tweeter is level with the ear. Since these speakers are in my home office, and I generally sit in my desk chair, I'm wondering if there's any value to raising the speakers up one foot. That would bring the tweeter in line with ear level. Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the comments. I have a pair of speaker stands in the closet which I can immediately put to use. Also have some granite tiles that I can use as a buffer surface between the stands and speakers. I'll give it a try and see what happens. If I don't like the initial results, I'll put them back on the floor and tilt the front side up just as you suggested.
Actually, the speakers elevated to ear level sound much better when compared to the floor. Could be my unique room acoustics which may influence the result. I like it!
